Deaths from Three Mile Island: 0. Deaths from Chernobyl: 60. Deaths from Fukushima: 0. Deaths from BP oil spill: 11. Deaths from global warming: 0. Deaths from aging: 100,000 per day. Meanwhile the last 200 years have produced steam engines, railroads, cars, electricity, radio, airplanes, vaccines, computers, the internet, and genetic engineering. Life expectancy worldwide increased from 25 to 70. Agriculture went from most the the economy to 6% (1.5% in developed countries) in spite of the population increasing from 1 billion to 7 billion.
